Himalayan Hacker 2025–2026 is dedicated to guiding youth through STEM learning and exploration with FIRST® LEGO® League. Our program consists of three teams — one in FLL Challenge and two in FLL Explore — providing students with hands-on experiences in robotics, research, problem-solving, and teamwork. FIRST LEGO League gives young learners the opportunity to apply science, engineering, and math skills while fostering confidence, critical thinking, and collaboration
Season Theme: UNEARTHED
In the UNEARTHED™ challenge, FIRST® LEGO® League teams will uncover the past to discover the future. Every artifact we uncover holds a story. Each tool, each innovation, and each work of art connects us to the people and ideas that came before us. Using STEM skills and teamwork, teams dig deeper into discoveries than ever before — exploring archaeology and applying critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration.
